I don't mind talking about it, but I have written many pages on it here on this
site in the past and really do not have the time right now to reiterate.
However, feel free to surf through the archives and if you then have any
specific questions on what I am trying to do, I'll be glad to answer.

As to how it is working out, I haven't really worked on it for about a month due
to a bunch of other things coming up. But, my partner and I plan to get back on
it this week. The program currently plays about 1800 strength, but that appears
to be more due to a variety of bugs and certain major features not yet being
implemented than it is that the ideas are not working. Only time with tell
though.
